Organizing a Living Quarters Trailer

I’ve been on the road a lot this Spring, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon! We thought it would be fun to share with you how to organize your Living Quarters Trailer. Or at least I can share with you how I organize mine. I haven’t yet, sadly, figured out the easiest way to make the bed! If I figure out how to do that and not break a sweat, I’ll update you!

There are certain things I pack at the beginning of the season that I intend to leave/use in the trailer for the duration of the season. In fact, many of these things were actually purchased just for the living quarters trailer and will live here until I get a new/different trailer.

There are two parts to organize — the people part, and the horse part! We will start with the people part!

I try not to “borrow” these things from my living quarters trailer for use at home on the ranch, because inevitably if I do, I will end up getting off somewhere and think I have something that I don’t actually have. In fact, just this week it happened with the fly spray. Which leads into the next part of this discussion — the horse part!

This part isn’t so easy, as much of what I use on my horse day-to-day, will be used at home, such as feed, and my Back on Track products, but since I live on a ranch, and don’t need my barrel racing saddles daily, they do get to live full-time in the living quarters trailer. Here’s what’s always packed:

Why yes, that is a yoga mat in the photo above. Gotta stay healthy while on the road! I’m hoping this list helps you get yourself a little more organized for the road! I’ve got myself so organized that I can usually be packed and leave in about 3 hours — and most of the packing is my clothes, haha!
